Thanks for your thoughtful questions and more than five years of contributions to our company’s success. As part of the Health Catalyst Board of Directors’ work, we have succession plans for my role. Rest assured that I consider consistent alignment with cultural principles and values to be the most important factor when thinking about our next CEO and other senior leaders at Health Catalyst. And I’m grateful to have been engaged in this work for the past more than 12 years, and I plan to continue to be engaged in this work for many years to come. Health Catalyst’s mission is bigger than any one of us, and the mission is meant to continue forward for decades to come. We are striving to be built to last as a company, which also means that the company is never dependent on any one person, and I have great confidence in our team members to continue forward in pursuit of this important mission for many years, and even decades, to come.

Pros

Great Talent & Culture: The people here are highly capable, collaborative, and committed to helping each other succeed. The partnership between onshore and offshore teams works well and is a real strength. There’s a culture of grit and stability that has helped the company navigate multiple major transitions over the years. Mission-Critical Engineering: The work involves complex data infrastructure that requires deep technical expertise. It can be demanding, but seeing these systems run successfully and support real-world operations is consistently rewarding.

Cons

Wage Compression and Retention Risk: Compensation for tenured and high-performing staff has not kept pace with the market for specialized data engineering and support leadership. In practice, tenure can feel undervalued or even penalized. This creates risk around losing institutional knowledge and operational continuity. Stagnant Career Progression: Contrary to stated expectations, strong performance ratings do not consistently translate into meaningful, market-aligned compensation growth. The process of how compensation is benchmarked lacks clarity in practice, obscuring how compensation decisions are made and what is required to advance.
